In line with our fellow Diocesan schools, we follow the Diocesan lesson plans based on the new RED. This curriculum seeks to present the teaching of religious education in a sequential and progressive form. The framework has four structural elements:

• Knowledge lenses which indicate what should be known by the end of each age phase. These are split into hear, believe, live and celebrate.
• The ‘ways of knowing’ are the skills which develop as the children progress through their curriculum journey. These are split into understand, discern and respond.  
• Expected outcomes are set for each age phase and indicate what pupils are expected to know, remember and be able to do.
• Curriculum branches are the way the programme of study presents its model curriculum. There are six half term branches for each half term which are the same in each year group.
